What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). For a Level 1 commercial specialty contractor — the larger-volume specialty tier — ORS 701.084 sets the bond at $55,000. The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee standing behind your work and your contracts.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with owners and others you contract with as the protected parties. If the CCB issues a final order against you under ORS 701.146, the surety pays up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish their work and pay their bills treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. The bond must stay active for the two-year life of your license.
